[Hook x2]

Back when I was broke they wouldn't fuck wit me

Back then I would hope I make it overseas

It's over, ain't no struggling with groceries

Independent artist, no controlling me


[Verse 1]

Dreams of living lavish ended beautifully

Made it happen through the sinning and impurity

It'll all be over, supreme jubilees

And do it for the block it's time to provide unity, look

Mama got the Rover that I promised

Papa got to know I ain't mad, I'm being honest

Bitches really trifling, the interest is ya wallet

And suicidal thoughts, done got mе, Christopher Wallace, look

Trials & tribulations coming constantly

Conquering thе pressure, I been labeled an anomaly

Prioritize the hustle, gotta handle it responsibly

And hoping that one day, I’ma have Nike sponsor me, look


[Hook x2]

Back when I was broke they wouldn't fuck wit me

Back then I would hope I make it overseas

It's over, ain't no struggling with groceries

Independent artist, no controlling me


[Verse 2]

Banging on my chest, I be on a quest

Rhyme about just what I wanna, never on request

Cause I gotta keep it real, mandatory, manifest, look

Now they bumping my shit from New York to Bucharest

The woman you caress

We sexing when we wanna

When you die then you could rest

So sleeping I ain't gonna

Mosh pit at my show, I turned that shit into a sauna

It's hot up in this motherfucker, Cali, Arizona

Gotta put in action, motivation, do or die

Inspiring yo people, enlightenment in someone else's lives

Patient with this shit, I had to stand in line

And I’ ma keep it true until the end of time


[Hook x2]

Back when I was broke they wouldn't fuck wit me

Back then I would hope I make it overseas

It's over, ain't no struggling with groceries

Independent artist, no controlling me
